Chapter 1155: Chapter 1095: Stone Pool

North of the Myriad Treasures Grotto.

Passing through a passage, Yu Shendu walked directly into a verdant space.

Looking at the numerous green plants in this space, Yu Shendu seemed to detect something amiss, carefully sensing his surroundings.

Suddenly.

With a pinch of his fingers, Yu Shendu conjured a spell, and a black shield immediately flew up, blocking his front. Almost at the same time, a mass of green liquid shot toward Yu Shendu.

This mass of green liquid was directly blocked by the black shield, adhering to its surface.

Sizzles...

The green liquid had an extremely strong corrosive property, and even the Heaven Grade shield crafted from precious Divine Material in Yu Shendu’s possession began to slowly melt under its corrosion.

Seeing this, Yu Shendu raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, from the green plants, jumped out small green insects akin to praying mantises. These small green insects were only the size of a palm but emitted an incredible demonic light.

Pop, pop, pop!

The green liquid that previously shot toward Yu Shendu was actually spat out by these green insects.

This time, with the appearance of the swarm, they acted in unison, and instantly, dozens of masses of green liquid shot at Yu Shendu from every direction.

However, in the face of this anomaly, Yu Shendu’s expression did not change dramatically.

He snorted coldly, and a mass of black flames appeared in his hand.

The black flames burned fiercely, and the black firelight emitted caused the entire space’s temperature to soar.

The green insects on the green plants sensed the power of the black flames and seemed to feel threatened, chirping in panic, and in the next moment, they disappeared from the plants.

On closer inspection, it was impossible to determine where they were hiding.

"Trying to hide?"

Yu Shendu remained unmoved, his cold eyes scanned the countless plants in the space, and then, with a movement of the black flames in his hand, it transformed into a giant black python, lunging toward the many plants.

Boom!

Countless green plants in this space were immediately ignited, blazing into flames.

Amidst the crackling firelight, only the tragic screeches of the green plants could be heard, but then it was discovered that all the green plants transformed into green insects, rolling and jumping in the flames.

The green plants in this space were actually transformed entirely from those green insects!

The struggling insects also pounced toward Yu Shendu, seemingly wanting to drag him into the sea of fire together.

Driving the black flames, Yu Shendu would certainly not allow these green insects to succeed.

He snorted coldly, emitting unmatched Divine Light from his body, and even as the burning insects leapt toward him, they couldn’t approach him in the slightest.

The swarm could only issue tragic shrieks and be burned to ashes amidst the roaring flames.

After the entire space was burned empty, Yu Shendu explored every corner but found nothing, so he sighed and shook his head: "Unexpectedly, it’s another killing field without any treasure."

After saying this, Yu Shendu turned and left the area, continuing to advance through the passage.

...

West of the Myriad Treasures Grotto.

In front of an Ancient Teleportation Formation in the Linglong Divine Land, Overlord Hongjue’s icy face showed a rare smile.

"The First Layer of Heaven in the Chaotic Heavenly Hall—the Myriad Treasures Grotto, the treasures inside are the least valuable in the Chaotic Heavenly Hall."

"The Ancient Stele outside records that the First Layer of Heaven has an Ancient Mountain that can elevate one’s realm by a small layer. I’ve searched for a long time and found nothing."

"I’m afraid such a Treasure Land is not so easily found."

"Rather than wasting time here, I might as well venture to the upper layers sooner!"

After a flash of Divine Light in her eyes, Overlord Hongjue stepped into the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

Amidst the flashing Divine Light, she vanished from within the Myriad Treasures Grotto.

...

"Hmm? There’s actually a Sword Diagram in this space!"

Yuan Qingzi, looking at a diagram on the wall of a space beside the passage he was in, revealed an expression of immense joy.

"This Sword Diagram seems even more profound than the Heavenly Sword Divine Art!"

The entire Sword Diagram flickered with Spiritual Light, and upon careful examination, it seemed a small figure was wielding a Divine Sword, executing a nameless swordsmanship.

However, the small figure’s movements were so fast that even with Yuan Qingzi’s Greater Tribulation Dominion Realm, it was hard to fully memorize its actions.

Yuan Qingzi could only focus all his Mind and Spirit, meticulously capturing every movement of the small figure.

He dared not lose concentration for even a moment!

...

Along with Hua Tianjue, Situ Chen, Divine Master Yuan Feng, and others.

Everyone in the Myriad Treasures Grotto’s numerous passages was facing different circumstances.

Some encountered life-and-death peril.

Some discovered precious treasures.

Some, thanks to the Ancient Teleportation Formation, have already stepped into the higher Nine Heavens of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall.

At this moment, Ye Chen was still progressing through the passage.

When Ye Chen stepped into a pitch-black passage resembling ink, he came to a sudden stop.

Instantly, Ye Chen pointed his finger.

A spatial rift formed directly within the pitch-black passage ahead.

At the moment the spatial rift formed, a giant bat, about ten feet long, revealed its true form at the rift but was devoured without even having a chance to screech, crushed into nothingness by the alternate space.

Seeing this, Ye Chen waved his hand to collect the spatial rift and continued to advance forward.

After progressing approximately several thousand feet further down the dark corridor, Ye Chen suddenly sensed something and stepped to the side.

By the side of the passage, a pitch-black special space had appeared.

As Ye Chen stepped into this dark space, an unexpected event occurred.

Inside this special space, tiny points of light slowly lit up.

Gradually, countless firefly-like lights filled the space, illuminating it brightly.

Looking towards these lights, one could see they were emitted by small, mysterious insects resembling fireflies.

However, unlike ordinary fireflies that only emit light,

these luminous, mysterious insects shed layers of glowing powder as they flitted about.

The powder was crystal clear, seemingly a strange material.

Sensing the powder, Ye Chen’s eyes brightened.

Even though he didn’t know the exact use of the powder, the divine light emanating from it suggested they were extraordinary.

Ye Chen waved his hand to absorb the powder on the ground, drawing it all towards him.

Eventually, a handful of the powder formed in his palm.

Seeing Ye Chen collect the powder, the mysterious insects chirped crisply, as if quite pleased, even fluttering around him.

After fluttering for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the mysterious insects extinguished their glow and slowly settled on the stone wall of the space.

Ye Chen realized that the opportunity within this space had likely come to an end.

He glanced at the luminous powder that still glowed in his hand, smiled, and then stowed it away before exiting the space.

Next,

Ye Chen continued to move through the passage.

However, whether due to bad luck or not, he did not encounter any more treasures.

In fact, he faced numerous dangers.

Most of these dangers were resolved by Ye Chen using his newly practiced method of spatial rift.

This allowed Ye Chen to master the technique of spatial rift more skillfully.

Some dangers, however, could not even be handled by spatial rift.

The most dangerous encounter was when Ye Chen stepped into a special space off the side of the passage, thinking it to be a treasure land. Instead, the space suddenly collapsed, revealing a massive pit.

Inside the pit were buried numerous skeletal remains.

These remains sensed Ye Chen’s life force and came to life, transforming into corpse fiend-like demons!

More terrifying was that these demons were immensely powerful and coordinated, forming a fearsome killing formation, trapping Ye Chen within.

Even though Ye Chen deployed seven copper coin ancient treasures, he couldn’t annihilate the corpse fiends.

Finally, Ye Chen had to use another ancient treasure—the broken blade he had obtained from the Cosmic Emperor, slain amidst the Chaos Ghost Mist, among the three Ancient Chaos Treasures. Only then did he manage to slaughter all the corpse fiends!

The killing force of this second Ancient Chaos Treasure was so astounding to Ye Chen.

Although the blade was broken, it was imbued with a strange ancient fire, immensely more powerful than Ye Chen’s Heavenly Forbidden Flame.

As the blade spun and flew out, it pierced through all the corpse fiends, igniting them with the ancient fire it carried.

In the end, all the corpse fiends were completely killed by the blade, without any chance to fight back!

The formation surrounding Ye Chen was also thus destroyed.

Ye Chen finally escaped from that space.

After leaving that lethal space, he traveled for another half day, resolving numerous crises before Ye Chen finally sensed the aura of another treasure again.

This aura emanated from a place several hundred feet ahead.

Ye Chen’s Divine Sense reached out to explore that area.

But to Ye Chen’s surprise, the space was open, and there was already someone inside.

That person was someone Ye Chen knew, none other than Ning Xiaoxiao, a talented girl under the Divine Master Realm from the Linglong Divine Land team!

At this moment, Ye Chen, utilizing the extended Divine Sense range from successfully cultivating the First Extreme of the Tai Yu Chapter, could sense Ning Xiaoxiao, while Ning Xiaoxiao, whose sense was restricted to a dozens feet range, couldn’t detect Ye Chen.

The girl was in the center of the space ahead, gazing at something within a giant stone pool.

That stone pool seemed to be shrouded by an unknown divine power, preventing Ye Chen from probing it with his Divine Sense in advance.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen decisively continued onward.

After advancing several hundred feet, he finally saw the space adjacent to the passage ahead.

At this time, Ning Xiaoxiao also sensed someone approaching. She turned back, slightly surprised to see Ye Chen.

However, she didn’t seem to want to claim the treasure land for herself. Upon seeing Ye Chen, she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, I didn’t expect among so many passages, we would meet here."

"Fellow Daoist Ning Xiaoxiao, what’s in there?" Seeing her courteous demeanor, Ye Chen smiled as well, walking forward.

"Come and see for yourself," Ning Xiaoxiao replied playfully.

Ning Xiaoxiao’s words piqued Ye Chen’s curiosity even more.

He quickly walked to the edge of the stone pool, following Ning Xiaoxiao’s gaze into it, letting out a small exclamation.
